3:30Now PlayingConvicted felon Donald Trump showed the world just how broken his brain is with a recent post on Truth Social where he claimed that President Biden is allowing people with diabetes to suffer with "open wounds" while his administration denies them care. There's absolutely no record of this happening, and there isn't even a right wing media report alleging that this is happening. Trump literally made it up to scare voters, further proof that he will lie about anything. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

As I've repeatedly said, Donald Trump's mental state has gotten so much worse since his criminal convictions on May 31st or May 30th, I guess it was. Uh, but either way, his mental state is not good. It was getting worse all throughout the trial got so much worse after the conviction. And the worst thing for Donald Trump is that he doesn't mind showing the entire world how insane he has become. In fact, Donald Trump put a post on truth social this past week that really shows us that this man is not okay mentally. Here is what Donald Trump said on truth social crooked. Joe Biden is saying Medicare will not cover more than 50,000 Americans living with horrible open wounds caused by diabetes. Their message to these Americans tough it out despite the testimony from doctors groundbreaking medical research, and please from patients for help, the Biden administration is abandoning them. It's bad enough. Crooked Joe has broken his word to us about keeping America safe, our economy sound and our border secure. Now, Joe's playing Russian roulette with people's lives and doing something he promised he'd never do. These people are hurting, but they should know that help is on the way this November.
So, yeah. Um, according to Donald Trump, we got a lot of diabetics walking around out there with just open sores, open wounds. 'cause he is speaking literally about that. Uh, which by the way, is something that can happen. Um, and President Biden is going around telling 50,000 of these people. You we're, we're not, Medicare's not gonna cover you. Now, I did digging. The people who wrote this story did some digging. There's no instance of this happening. There's not even any right wing media outlets pushing this lie. So I don't know where Trump got this, but it's not even from right wing media. That, of course, just makes up every day. It it, he made it up. He literally had this crazy idea pop into his empty little head, and his possibly dementia ridden brain said, put it on truth social man. And he did. And it's a complete fabrication. He made up every single part of this story. And I cannot stress to you enough, like, okay, I get it, politicians lie. But usually a lie is based in something that's plausible, something that happened. You take it outta context, you misconstrue it, and you create a new thing from something. This lie was created from nothing. I mean, you're gonna try to say that President Biden hasn't helped people with diabetes in the United States when he capped the price of insulin at $35. That's insane. That is absolutely insane. And Donald Trump is trying to convince people that somehow Biden is bad for
People with diabetes. He made it up. And to me that is a very clear sign that something is dangerously wrong with Donald Trump's brain. And the media needs to be talking about stories like this more when he creates something out of nothing and pitches it as a new version of reality. We shouldn't just treat that as, oh, Trump's lying. No, no, no, no. We need to treat it like the symptom of a mental illness, that it really is.
